I never learned to type. I have my own inefficient style

They're not just lines, they're bumps. Haptic feedback as the kids say.

I taught myself a personal typing style, because I found touch typing to be awkward, unpleasant and quite frankly shitty to follow.

So yeah, not okay with the implications that not knowing those lines means not knowing how to type.

Shifting of focus (eyes to keyboard then back to screen) can slow you down a lot. With computers I just stare at the keyboard and type. Problem with this is when something happens on the screen and the cursor is no longer where I think it is.
What I hate is the forced use of the mouse. Either make it all mouse or all keyboard navigable. In fact, with people having to use screen readers, all forms need to be keyboard navigable.

As a gamer I always wanted one of these on the W.

Those are for people who can type without looking ;)

It’s how I quit vi

I'm in my 50s. I don't know anyone who has ever been taught to type.

I learned touch typing as a result of MSN messenger, in the dark, with a keyboard that would slide under the desk. I think phone contracts have resulted in a lot of people younger than me not being able to touch type.

My cousin types far faster than me, and he credits Typing of the Dead for that skill.

/r/teachers is a horror show.

It's so you know if the keyboard is upside down or not.
